In an early running for the most ridiculous rumor of the year, it is being claimed that Travellers Tales is working to produce Lego Rock Band. Yes, you read that correctly. Lego and Rock Band, together at last.
Despite this one having a strong whiff of the bullsh*t about it, the good old “anonymous source” it came from is claiming that this is 100% correct. That proves it then. Most people are calling it “the stupidest rumor [they’ve] ever read,” and I am inclined to agree that, true or not, this is one stupid concept.
As ludicrous as it sounds, the games industry is so in love with cheap knock-offs and crossovers for the sake of cash that I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if, one day, we saw a Lego Rock Band, and all sorts of other videogames crossbred with the Lego franchise.
Neither EA nor TT have confirmed this. We know a new Lego title is out this year, but that’s like saying there will be a stabbing in East London this year. Whether this could be true or not, we’re not saying, it just sounds so utterly stupid that we had to share. For the moment, we can just file this one under “W” for “WTF?”
